avocado

Motivated to paint something fresh each day as part of my May challenge, I am also dedicated to eat more whole foods and eat fresh.  Avocado is one food that I love.
Have you ever heard that the avocado is referred to as God's butter?  
Well last summer, at the beach, I overheard a Mother giving a spoon full to her child and telling him it was 
"God's butter."
Avocado's are a "superfood" and so good for you.  
Great alone with a little salt and honey drizzled on top or added to salads or fresh smoothies.  
I love how they come packaged in a pretty green bowl.

  1. God's butter - i love it! i enjoy my avocados with just lemon with a little salt, or lemon with just bit of soy sauce (believe or not it's good), and toss them with fresh greens ;)

  4. When we did our spring cleanse, we learned that avocados add a creaminess to smoothies and now we're addicted. We use them mashed on sandwiches, sprinkled in our salads and now for breakfast smoothies. Truly God's butter! Hope you have a wonderful Kentucky Derby weekend.
